Mother Crone

Mother Crone

Earth Mother
in cold December
her heart frozen over
full of strength
fragile as glass
let the world mourn
Persephone entombed
her sweet warmth
blush of life stolen
Demeter raves
death touches
the world.

Nice, very pagan. I celebrate the abduction of Persephone every year.

Thank you, yes, I celebrate Thesmosphoria, the celebration and honor of Demeter this time of year.

The ancient Goddesses make for a most delightful read. I am a Christian, but I haven't forgotten my studies of ancient deities...

Hehe thank you, Demeter is one most near and dear to my heart and this time of year I always feel a particular closeness to her.

Winter can be a drag.

"blush of life stolen" is the line that sums up the devastating nature of her absence. I can tell this poem means a lot to you, thanks for sharing, it is beautiful ! :)
